• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

XML ObPlacer 0.84

When I try to upgrade ObPlacer 0.83 to version 0.84, I keep getting the ObjectPlacer XML error - Failed to load generic.xml file. The ObjectPlacer 0.83 is installed so there should be no reason for this. What's the problem? Also, where's the link to download the ObjectPlacer 0.83 and 0.84 on this website? I saw them just yesterday and now I can't find them.

Another problem is that when I select, for example, ag_gas_1 from the Default Library Objects, the only thing shown is the picture of the gas station in the Preview box. The Properties and all the other boxes are grayed out. There is nothing in the main box in the center, but yet the manual shows that there is a list of objects there, and the manual DOES NOT explain in detail what's going on here. Every time I try to do something, it's not doing what supposed to be doing and I'm wasting my time trying to figure all of these things out. So, what's the problem with all of the issues?

Ken.

Hi Ken,

I have to check where the error of that xml file comes from. It's many years ago I made or used the tool.

When selecting the gas station, did you first load an xml file or made a new one in the file menu?

I don't remember the exact details, but I think you need to right click on the object to make a new instance of it.
